    I'm reading this article on how to migrate files from a PC to the Mac:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304721

    How do I figure out my PC's network address :confused:
    This is what it says in step 4:

    Type your PC's network address in the Server Address text box using one of these formats:
    smb://DNSname/ShareName
    smb://IPaddress/ShareName

    Thanks!

    Thanks, I'll check it out.
    Is the DNSname the "workgroup" and ShareName the "Full Computer name"?
